Russian forces advance near Konstantynivka and inside the city itself

According to the Ukrainian military Telegram channel Deep State, Russian forces have seized new positions in the Konstantynivka area of Donetsk region and continue to advance inside the city.

According to the channel, Russian troops have consolidated their hold near the villages of Illynivka and Berestok. The grey zone has expanded in the southern part of Konstantynivka. In the northern part of the city, the corridor controlled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces is just over one kilometer wide.

The day before, Deep State reported a sharp deterioration of the situation around Konstantynivka: Russian forces had reached the outskirts of the city from nearly all directions, are actively pressing on the defenses, and are infiltrating deeper into Konstantynivka.

Military expert Konstantin Mashovets also reported a worsening of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ position near Konstantynivka. According to him, the battle for the city is entering its final phase.
